The Allurion Balloon, formerly known as the Elipse Balloon, is a non-surgical weight loss solution designed to reduce calorie intake without endoscopy or anesthesia. This soft, swallowable balloon is placed in the stomach during a quick 15-minute appointment. Once inflated, it creates a feeling of fullness, helping to control hunger and support weight loss of 10 to 15 kg within 16 weeks. Unlike short-term fixes, the Allurion Balloon is part of a structured program that encourages long-term lifestyle changes.
As the balloon takes up space in the stomach, it naturally promotes portion control and lower calorie consumption. Over 16 weeks, it gradually deflates and is expelled naturally, requiring no medical removal. The program is personalized for each patient to support sustainable weight loss and better health. On average, participants lose 10–15% of their body weight and maintain up to 95% of their weight loss after completing the program.

About one-third of patients experience pain and nausea immediately after balloon insertion, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days. In most cases, they can be managed with oral medication at home. While complications are rare, if you experience nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain after the procedure, you should contact your doctor immediately.
Balloon deflation is a possible risk. If the balloon deflates, it could pass through the digestive tract and cause a blockage, which may require additional treatment or surgery for removal. Other rare but serious risks include overinflation, severe pancreatitis, ulcers, or perforation of the stomach wall, which may also necessitate surgical intervention.
